If you taming an argie of any level doing bother using a trap.

I just use any fast mount like a raptor, iguanodon and even a Sarco could do the job and I blast it with arrows. Hit and run, hit and run.

By the way I got a 150 argie with this method on a sarco so it works quite well.

Idk about everyone but In war these guys can be used to transport to the frontlines fast

Argentavis are pretty good for carrying things long distances if you have your argentavis leveled up on speed. Very fun to have!

Dododex Says you can't knock it out with fists cause 100% chance of death but they are wrong. I just did it on official ASA with a level 90. The trick is you have to let the argy periodically eat your body to regen health. I had to die like 10+ times but it is doable. Some of those deaths were not intentional tho.

Anyway the method is simple (ASA)

Build

-one stone foundation

-three stone walls

-one slanted stone roof

Drop foundation. Put 2 walls down next 2 eachother as double wide doorways. And the 3rd as a secret door. Attach the roof to the middle wall extending out toward the unused opening acting as a funnel. Find low argy. Lure into opening. Go out thru secret door as it follows you in. Viola. Trapped argy. Now position yourself behind the secret door so that your punches hit but his attacks don't and Bam. You k.o. an argy beach Bob style day 1 with limited supplies. You may however want a few beds tho because as I stated. You will be dying a lot and feeding it your own body to keep its health up.

There is however one caveat. Flyers do not like staying in traps with no players in render distance. So you do need somebody to stay nearby to ensure he doesn't fly away when you die.

If you have it trapped let it wake up. Knock it out with tranq arrows. For example a 135 takes 21 arrows and 102 narcotic to keep unconscious. If you use the 21 arrows to knock it out let it wake up and use another 21 arrows to knock it again it will be ready to eat before the second time it wakes. Saves about 60 narcotic in the l process.

If you’re on x box click R to pick up something small in it’s mouth you can actually carry 2 animals at once

Iff your on mobile it's way easier

I still recommend a trap tho

Like the one with 3 stone Dino gateways

1: build the argy trap

could be any kind but recommend the one I was just talking about

So you place the Dino gateways like behind each other

But don't place the door that's facing the argy yet

2: lure the argy into the trap

Again I'm talking about that Dino gateway trap

So stand in the gateway

Shoot the argy and he should be flying towards u

Then move backwards and equip the door but don't place it yet

Iff the argy is in the trap with u then place the door and get out of that trap

3: KO

now just shoot tranq darts or arrows until its knock out

Renember I'm talking about mobile not pc

So then soothing balm and just feed him kibble or meat or prime really doesn't matter

Anyway chuck a saddle on it and you can fly

Anyway it has a around 110% movement speed

Reduces 50 % weight on crystals and other

Idk the health check it yourself

And unlike the pte it can attack while on the ground

And it can attack in the sky

What I mean by that is when you pick up a wild Dino you can basically just attack while your holding it

So yeah

I hope you hated reading this

Bc almost everybody should hate reading

And I hope it helped

Easy rg trap:

Requirements: 3 stone dinosaur gates, 1 reinforced dinosaur gateway, 3 stone pillars and ideally a pt (does not have to be good)

Execution: Once you have found your rg kill all surrounding creatures (leave some bodies for prime meat) then place the 3 stone gateways one by one to make a corridor (leaving a decent gap but not very big) then place the three pillars at the end of the corridor in the center the rg can not fly through this gap but the pt can (test before to make sure you got this right then make sure the gate door is on your hotbar. Go agro the rg with the pt (without hitting it just go near it) then lead it into the trap (remembering to wait for it and keep its agro) and fly out the end then dismount and run around the back to place the gate leave (pt on passive just in case and there we are trapped rg.

If breeding and you have a good male and looking to baseline with a female, when you hatch a female walk it near the full grown male and enable breeding on female when she's done growing she'll instantly lay a fertilized egg...

Just use 15 metal bolas and a basilli turret and catch them

Also place spikes around them while taming ( for safety)

( it is possible that they are with 2 or 3)

Argy trap (also works for griffin):

Takes 4 stone gate frames, one reinforced gate, and 3 stone pillars. Pick a spot that is flat and also away from any predators, including compy and dilo. Face going the same way you plan to fly them in, so that gate opens in. Place first frame then slowly walk forward until the frame isn't snapping at weird angles and place it, this gets the spacing right. After placing 4th frame, put pillar right in the middle of it, then stack the other 2. Now walk backwards until you can place the gate in the first frame, I place a torch out front a ways to locate more easily. You now have a perfect Argy trap.

Using pteranodon, agro the Argy then lead in low and slow, opening the gate when you reach it. Pteranodon can slip right through but Argy cannot. Land and hop off, while Argy stays agro on your mount, run back and close the gate.

For taming, shoot with tranqs to partially torpor, sleep, then KO, balm, and rapid tame with raw prime meat (stego is my goto).

-Good Luck

If in the mountains with argys ankys you won't have to worry about sabertooths because these guys would be handling them this mostly applys to redwoods because the mountains are a bit more flatter

Indeed of having four Dino gates use three

They are very good for transporting resources because of their weight reduction also they are like a portable smithy

If you find one in flat ground, kill something around it and put it in a trap, and the Arge will fly straight in.

They have 50% reduction on most heavy resources

Just tamed my first argy, with a few tranq arrows and a crossbow. just make it follow you to a beach with no agros and knock it.

Waaay less scary than you may think

I play on ark xbox but when i played on ragnarok no argentavis would show up i didnt see a single one not even a call

These guys can’t be ridden in caves on mobile not sure about other flyers so not very fun

So To Tame a Argy I recommend using Tranq Darts If You have Acess to that If you only have tranq arrows and a cross bow you can use that
